From the beginning of November, a giant rainbow is to draw attention to an exhibition of historical and contemporary Polish art in front of the Albertinum in Dresden for several months. According to the State Art Collections (SKD), the artist Marek Sobczyk has created a new version of his "Simple Rainbow" from 1991 for "Change will come", which will be set up on November 5. The curators of the show see it as "a prominent example" of the artist's role as a contemporary witness and active shaper of change.
"Art is political and art is effective," said Marion Ackermann, SKD Director General, according to the press release. "When we engage with what art has to say to us, we change our perspective. In this way, we can succeed in building bridges through art."
